Equestrian Programs

Summer Campers, ages 8 and up, may register for Horsemanship Lessons, 1/2 Day Horse Lovers Camp or Full Day Horse Lovers Camp for an additional fee. Campers participating in any Equestrian program are required to wear long pants and shoes or boots with a ½-1” heel. Camp provides safety helmets but campers may bring their own riding helmet if they prefer. Campers’ helmets will be inspected by the Equestrian Director to be sure that they meet safety requirements. An evaluation ride on the first day of the session determines placement of campers by experience. Campers progress at their own pace.*

Horsemanship Lessons: This is an add on program of one hour a day, during morning coaching periods to experience life at the Ranch. Day 1 consists of a welcome to the barn, learn how to groom and tack up. Day 2 & 3 offer instructional classes in the arena. Day 4 is Trail Ride Day. On Day 5, your camper will be playing games in the arena using the basic riding skills learned.*
